You can't walk like a drunken sailor during an earthquake? I mean sure, if we assume that it's a constant 7.8 earthquake with the fault line directly under you.
The earth drops or rolls under your feet. I've been through damn near a dozen 5.5 or larger quakes. Running is not possible, the movies are full of shit
And apparent watching that video I just linked you to Is equally impossible. It also seems impossible for you to consider that all earth quakes are not the same as the one you experienced. Or that the distance to episcenter matters.
Considering your point for a moment, it is worth noting that explosions register on the richter scale, though similarly not all earth quakes exhibit high amounts of horizontal or vertical motion.

5.4 or so is enough to keep you from walking
O.K. You better tell the people at the 1:52 mark in this video that they don't have your permission to walk or run.
